RF Safe’s 30,000 Members Demand President Trump Repeal Section 704 to Protect America’s Health

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Advocacy Group Highlights Over 25 Years of Service, Calls for Restoring Local Freedoms and Modernizing Outdated Wireless “Safety” Guidelines

Today, RF Safe, a leading advocacy organization with 30,000 members nationwide, marks over a quarter century of assistance and activism since its founding in 1998, issuing an urgent appeal to President Donald J. Trump to repeal Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. RF Safe warns that this unconstitutional provision has led to unregulated levels of potentially harmful RF radiation exposure, fueling the nation’s chronic disease crisis by blocking local communities from addressing health concerns related to wireless infrastructure.

A Law That Silences Health Concerns

Originally signed by President Bill Clinton, Section 704 explicitly forbids state and local governments from rejecting cell towers on health or environmental grounds, effectively muzzling public discourse about safety risks. According to RF Safe, this law has:

  • Violated Americans’ First Amendment rights to speak openly about health hazards.
  • Usurped Tenth Amendment powers by preventing local authorities from safeguarding their communities.
  • Frozen outdated 1996 FCC guidelines that ignore modern scientific findings on non-thermal biological harm from RF radiation.

“For more than 25 years, RF Safe has fought to protect families from the dangers of unchecked wireless radiation,” said Katie Webb, a representative of RF Safe. “Section 704, by design, prevents us from using credible scientific evidence to protect our children and neighborhoods. We call on President Trump to restore our freedoms by repealing this gag order.”

Why Repeal Matters

  1. Constitutional Violations
    • First Amendment: Citizens are prohibited from even raising health data in public forums.
    • Tenth Amendment: Local governments lose their historic authority to regulate for public health.
  2. Outdated Safety Standards
    • The FCC’s thermal-only limits date back to 1996, long before smartphones, Wi-Fi, and 5G became ubiquitous.
    • Thousands of studies—including federal research—now indicate non-thermal risks such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction.
  3. Chronic Disease Epidemic
    • Rising incidence of autism, ADHD, fertility issues, and certain cancers correlates with continuous wireless exposure.
    • Experts warn that as long as Section 704 remains, communities cannot even investigate or act on these findings.

RF Safe’s 25+ Year Legacy

Since its inception in 1998, RF Safe has been at the forefront of advocating safer wireless technologies and educating the public on RF radiation risks. Through consumer guidance, research reviews, and grassroots campaigns, RF Safe has consistently championed the need for transparent, science-based safety standards to protect current and future generations.

“We aren’t trying to halt technology. Rather, we want innovation that prioritizes human health,” added John Coates, RF Safe’s Founder. “Without repeal of Section 704, meaningful safety reforms—including advanced wireless solutions like LiFi—will remain stifled.”

A Call to President Trump: #TrumpRepeal704

RF Safe appeals to President Trump to:

  1. Issue an Executive Order repealing Section 704, returning control to local communities.
  2. Overhaul Outdated RF Guidelines by mandating a rigorous scientific review of non-thermal effects.
  3. Promote Safe Innovations (such as LiFi and space-based broadband) to reduce harmful ground-level emissions and foster cleaner connectivity.
  4. Mandate a National Review of RF safety limits, incorporating non-thermal research.
  5. Initiate Safe Technology Incentives that encourage LiFi and other low-exposure alternatives.

By doing so, President Trump can empower newly appointed RFK Jr. at HHS to truly address the root of America’s chronic disease crisis. Without ending Section 704, even the strongest public health strategies will be undermined by a law that bars health-based challenges to wireless infrastructure.
